Crestwood Elementary teacher Kelly Eaton said her wish for her first-graders is that they are safe and know love.

Her favorite holiday tradition is attending Christmas Eve service with family.

Eaton's students have been nice by helping others.

"We have had several students out sick, and when these students return, they all help the returning students finish their crafts," she said.

During winter break, Eaton said she plans to spend time with family and clean her desk!

Dear Santa,
I hope you have a great Christmas. I hope you don’t get tired and have to
stop giving presents out to kids.

Alyssa

Dear Santa,
I want you to come my house. I get excited when you come. Every Christmas
morning I open my presents that you gave me because it is much better than
just sitting in bed because if you don’t open your presents you won’t see
what you got. I don’t do that. I open my presents way in the morning.

something to buy Anne Catherine. I’m leaving out milk and cookies for you.

Dear Santa,
I want a robot and it talks to you a lot and if you say “I want to go to
